@efstathiosntonas I'm not sure, and Nick is off on holidays. From taking a look at the files it might be that you can try patching locally. @cortinico what do you think?

I believe it's not possible to patch package the android code in RN

[cortinico]

You'll have to wait for a numbered version or try to build from source with: https://reactnative.dev/contributing/how-to-build-from-source

Thanks @cortinico
